• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Is there any logic on how SODE assigns aircraft doors? I can't seem to find the right way to assign my 3 jetways to the 3 doors of the A380-800. I either end up with 1L, 1L Upper, 2L or 1L, 2L Upper, 1L Upper (depending on the sorting of the exits in the aircraft.cfg). I think the best way would be 1L, 2L, 1L Upper since this is the correct order from the tip of the aircraft, but I can't find a way of making SODE offer the options in this order.
 
Hi Thorsten.

Are you using the Project Airbus A380? I have added this aircraft to SODE's internal database for the next release.
You can however test it by manually installing the config files (see attachment). The files need to go to C:\ProgramData\12bPilot\SODE, replacing the existing two files.

Concerning the ordering, it will result in 1L, 1L Upper, 2L. This is how it is stored into the C++ map using the default C++ map sorting logic (alphabetical), so it sorts against the numbers.
I'll try to find a way to sort the exits according to their positions along the fuselage.

This is not as easy as I thought it would be: I would have to fundamentally recode vital parts of the jetway engine to support this, because I would have to change the datatype to something else than a simple map.
Since the A380 is the only aircraft which would be affected by this change, for stability's sake, I won't change the code for the ordering.

Update:
Ok, since the ordering is only relevant for the text-menu, I can take that "unsorted" map and copy the contents of it into some other datatype and sort the latter how I want when I build the text-menu.
Coded, tested and works as expected :) Thanks for your input.
